Independently verified. Mike Johnson was the lead sponsor and AUTHOR of the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act (H.R. 9197), which he introduced in the House on October 18, 2022 -- the same year as the promise -- with 32 Republican cosponsors. Authoring and lead-sponsoring the signature bill is well beyond a single supporting vote, which places it squarely in CHAMPIONED rather than ATTEMPTED. However, the bill never advanced past referral to the Committees on Education & Labor and Oversight & Reform; it did not pass the House, the Senate, or become law, so the promise to 'pass' it was not fulfilled, ruling out FULL. Confirmed via the primary bill record (govinfo BILLS-117hr9197ih) plus Wikipedia and JURIST. The prior rating's 119th-Congress citation (H.R. 7661, now sponsored by Rep. Mary Miller, not Johnson) is real context but not the bill Johnson introduced; replaced here with the direct 117th-Congress primary source. Adversarial fairness check: any legislator of either party who authored and lead-sponsored a signature bill that then stalled in committee would receive CHAMPIONED under the same standard. Outcome and confidence stand.
